 Life Science: Pathways to Your Future 


Welcome to the Third Quarter

Week 8:

The anatomy and physiology of plants and animals illustrate the complementary nature of structure and function. As a basis for understanding this concept:

Learning Goal:
Students know how bones and muscles work together to provide a structural framework for movement.

Learning Activities:
Life Science Bingo
Students have received a pink paper with 25 supplementary activities to complete before the end of the quarter. The purpose of the BINGO sheet is two fold: (1) It is a management tool for students to use to pace themselves on the required assignments. (2) The learning activities support the learning goals and allow students to work on a variety of activities to reinforce the learning.

At the end of the activities the students will reflect on the purpose of the activity, what is the learning goal, and what did you learn through a learning log.

On Zangle the activities appear as a grid number, e.g. B1, I2, N3, G4, O5.... As students complete the activity, the assignment is stamped and then entered into Zangle. After students have completed at least 4 activities, then they may opt to work on the Science and Technology activities on the Life Science BINGO sheet. (See below)

Enrichment: The Virtual Body




Week 7: Structure and Function in Living Systems
The anatomy and physiology of plants and animals illustrate the complementary nature of structure and function. As a basis for understanding this concept:


Learning Goal:
Students know organ systems function because of the contributions of individual organs, tissues, and cells. The failure of any part can affect the entire system.
